When talking about the death of Wei Wu, Zhao Bohu also felt heavy: "No one could have predicted this, and you don't need to blame yourself. After all, you were sent on this mission by the Marquis of Wei, so why did Wei Wu's death happen?"

It's not your responsibility."

Obviously, such words of consolation had no effect on Kui Duoyou. He couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He tapped the table and said angrily: "Duke Zhou decided to kill this old thief just for his own face.

Are you going to take Wei Wu’s life? What’s the point of doing this with him?”

"Benefits?" Zhao Bohu smiled coldly: "There are two benefits. The twelve wizards that the king killed in succession were all recommended by him. Now the summoning of souls also failed. If the king alone pardoned Wei Wu, then Duke Zhou

Where should I put Ding's face? This is one. These two can show the world that he, Duke Ding of Zhou, is still a minister of King Zhou, calling his party members, especially the princes who are married to his family

Don’t worry, his Duke Zhou’s power is still strong, so they can rest assured and continue to support him.”

"But no one in the world knows about the queen's death. It has something to do with Duke Zhou, and the king knows it very well. Why should he be treated so leniently?" Wei Duoyou was very puzzled: "The king is so regretful and regretful about the queen, and he doesn't hesitate to do so.

The palace concubines were killed one after another, and they didn’t even care about the face of the princes and princesses. Why did you only spare that old man a favor?"

Zhao Bohu sighed softly, took a sip of Jue's wine, and said calmly: "This is the art of the emperor. Duke Zhou and I have been at odds for a long time. After the king ascended the throne, although he knew that Ji Ding was the confidant of the late King Xiao, he still remained

Let him serve in his original position. Do you know why?"

Wei Duoyou thought for a while, then raised his eyebrows and asked: "Could it be that ------ it's to check and balance you?" No way?

Zhao Bohu raised his eyes and looked at his friend, his eyes full of admiration: "That's right. If the relationship between me and Duke Zhou is close, the king may not be happy. Only such mutual restraint is the most beneficial situation for the king. Although on the other hand,

In my heart, the king trusts me more, but------" He bit his lip: "Maybe in his eyes, I am more like the prince, so------" The following words

, he did not dare to say it out loud, as if he continued to speak, it would be suspected of instigating the relationship between King Zhou and his son.

When Wei Duoyou heard this, he didn't know what to say. He just continued to listen silently to Zhao Bohu's story: "The king is the common master of the world, and his family and country are one. His family affairs are the official affairs of the people of the world. As a king,

I only like one thing, and that is 'power', the royal power that is the common master of the world. We, as ministers, are just weapons in the hands of the king. We can use them but cannot have any agenda. Once the king suspects us, once the power is overturned, we must

The king is taboo."

"Therefore," he poured another drink for Kui Duoyou: "The biggest black hole in the world is the government. It can swallow up all the beautiful things, such as youth, friendship, ideals, family affection------

Or maybe it’s thousands of creatures in the world. My dear friends, as a royal minister, I have to reflect on myself every day, as if I were walking on thin ice. I dare not do anything on my own, and I dare not go against the orders of my superiors. If I succeed, I will be credited to the Lord.

If you fail, you will take it too seriously - I don't want to ask for justice for the queen. But Ji Ding was appointed as the minister, and his influence was intertwined, and his influence affected the whole body. In addition, the king of Zhou was in trouble.

You know, I’m helpless too!”

After he said this, he seemed to feel much more relaxed. It was true that these words were hard to say to anyone, and he had held them in his heart for too long.

Wei Duoyou's heart tightened: "Zimu, you--can't you jump out of this black hole? Stay away from all this, can't you?"

Looking at his eager eyes, Zhao Bohu's heart moved. He wanted to escape from all the troubles and find a paradise with beautiful mountains and clear waters. He could live in seclusion with his wife and children, and he could also live next to many friends. He didn't have to worry about government affairs and personnel, and he didn't have to figure out the emperor's thoughts.

What a wonderful day it was! But------no way!

Zhao Bohu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That's all I can think about. I promised the queen that I would protect the prince and raise the fourth prince to adulthood. What's more, the Zhao family has been a minister for generations, and the family is prosperous. This clan, the people of the world, and

The Queen's last words are all on my shoulders."

Wei Duoyou lowered his eyelids: "I'm just talking."

Seeing that he was sad, Zhao Bohu also wanted to change the subject: "I also envy you for being free and easy. If you feel unhappy, you can go back to the grassland to relax. How about it? Why are you willing to come back this time? I thought you were going to herd horses and sheep for the rest of your life!"

"

Wei Duoyou raised his eyes and glanced at him, licked his lips a few times, but finally had no time to say anything. Because at this moment, there was an unhurried banging sound from the street market, accompanied by a protracted shout,

I vaguely heard something: "------Duke Zhou------The Counter Prince Ji Xi------Head------"

Zhao Bohu winked, and a guard in the corner understood and went out. The waiter came with a plate of grilled plum blossom carp. Wei Duoyou greeted Zhao Bohu to taste it and couldn't wait to ask the waiter.

Find out what's going on outside.

The waiter saw Zhao Bohu's graceful demeanor and luxurious clothes, and saw that Kui Duoyou behaved in a carefree manner, as if they were all well-established people, so he did not dare to offend him. He quickly squeezed out a charming smile and said: "It is said that it is Duke Zhou's mansion outside.

My retainers have just returned from Linzi, the capital of Qi, and brought back the head of Ji Xi, the rebel prince, and it is now hanging on a pole on the roof of the car and paraded through the streets! Ordinarily, Duke Zhou has done great service for the king!"

Zhao Bohu tasted the roasted carp meat and immediately praised it. The waiter's face was also red and he hurried down to prepare the dishes. Kui Duoyou whispered: "Aren't you in a hurry? That old thief is doing this.

Let everyone know about it in Haojing City, and it will be difficult for the king to find fault with him again in the future."

"It's not hard to guess what he was thinking." Zhao Bohu smiled and put a handful of fish meat into his bowl: "Your favorite grilled plum blossom carp, the flavor of your hometown, why don't you try it soon? However, by doing this, he finally

Eliminating a hidden danger for the Zhou royal family and the prince is also a good thing, why not do it?"

Wei Duoyou suppressed his worries, picked up a piece of fish and chewed it in his mouth. Sure enough, a smell of grass and wild flowers overflowed from his lips and teeth. His spirits suddenly lifted, and after drinking a few sips of wine, he became confused.

Among them, it seems that I am at the foot of Yinshan Mountain again. The snow that never melts all year round, the rolling green waves, and the lingering mist, are looming, almost distant, and gradually appear in front of me - although they are far away, they are still there.

It was extremely clear. Why did he leave such a beautiful grassland and come to this land of disputes in Haojing? He was a little confused.
